Developing Left Hand -- Right Hand Independence on the Piano - Glen Rose

[@r.k.2355]

Unbelievably simple exercise for a unbelievably tough skill. That's why they say.....A good teacher teach but great one, inspires.... You are the one who inspires. Thanks for posting.

[@glenrose7925]

Thank you Rohit

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Well said.

[@stephenbush8353]

This is not an easy thing to do but those who master it really stand out. This is the first video I have seen that explains it like this and is actually a real hands on starting point.

one of the best teachers on you tube .ecxellent

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci beaucoup. Breaking a complex movement into it's simplest components.

[@makaylalove2905]

This was so helpful. I just started piano not knowing how to do anything. I was getting frustrated because I tried to teach myself,then I came across this, and I feel much more confident in piano now! Thank u so much!!

[@palletcolorato]

Thank you! I'm re-learning keyboard at age 55 (retired) after taking a few lessons as an 8 year old. These exercises are what I really require. Not easy, but I'll keep at it.

[@dohoang1]

Mr Rose, wish I had you as my teacher when I began learning to play the piano. Many thanks and warmest regards.

[@vinecosta6733]

So helpful! Seriously, amazing video! It really helped me. I'm looking for something like that for weeks. Thank you!!!

[@eldridcrawford5677]

Excellent instruction on the basics of left hand right hand coordination

[@reason43poole37]

True understanding of teaching, thanks Glen.

[@atsul.7943]

Woow. Never thought of this. I could do this anywhere and this will really facilitate my progress in hand independence. Thanks.

[@gtrdoc911]

Somehow it never dawned on me I could practice hand independence without a keyboard. Great idea!

[@MansterBear]

+Rijkaard did u ever get one?

[@labradog05]

@Rijkaard yea me too im curious, i just have one and i want to know how youre doing

[@zs2mat]

Very helpful simple and logical building block. Thank you.

[@rebanelson607]

Excellent lesson. Thanks!

[@arbbr9397]

that actually really helped me understand things a lot better thanks

[@thomasdohling]

At last something practical on developing independence with both hands at the piano. I have heard the jazz music on your website and I loved them. My ears instantly picked up the left hand-right hand playing! I'm going to study and learn this style. Thank you.

[@glenrose7925]

Great. I hope you have success with the ideas.

[@plf5695]

Brilliant and very motivating. Thank for posting it.

[@bubblebath2892]

Loved it , 6:50 starts it on piano(just for time saving),however don't miss out on the tapping part - it gives amazing results

[@MrTuangpu]

Thank You Glen Rose, it is very helpful. God Bless You.

[@ReddoX30]

Thank you for these exercises, they are incredibly helpful for a beginner struggling with hand independence!

[@cristhomas5683]

Great concept! Very useful for me thanks 👍🏻🎹

[@ericr5431]

WOW!!! Why anyone would give you 19 thumbs down is beyond me.

[@bubblebath2892]

@Linux Tuxfriend lol

[@87048]

i sincerely appreciate this video. have been searching all morning for a good exercise for my l/r coordination, it's been VERY helpful. thanks, again!

[@olecorby6062]

Thank you so much, I couldn't do ANYTHING with my left hand before this. You helped out a lot!!

[@glenrose7925]

Ok, now try holding your fork with you left hand while you eat. Chew on the right side of your mouth and tap your spoon with your other hand in a steady beat on your plate. It will be a great conversation starter when eating out.

[@davidgerber9317]

Very accessible for me. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@yudipitre5720]

Thank you 😊 I am beginner. This is very helpful 🙂

[@eliolopez3107]

Smart approach. You can practice with or without a keyboard while building your skills. Well thought out.

[@liljunemiller8380]

I like the way you teach thank you

[@GoofRebelMusic]

Practicing patterns while on the phone is so smart! I am not good at singing rhythms independent from the rhythms on the keys. This will help.

[@ArtemisiaDS3]

Just with this video, and an hour of practice, the two hands are finally starting to think on their own. I've got about 1 week of experience and I'm kinda all over the place. Can't really figure out what piece or video I should focus on as there's so many.

[@johngottbehut2026]

Just a beginner at 79.very helpful

[@shrutivsec]

I wish there was an option to double like this video.. It's the most helpful hand independence video i have seen so far.. Thank you..

[@Z_Victory_Z]

[@luisesa4042]

Hello Glen, I hope you are well! Thanks for this great lesson. I needed this mindshift. It never crossed my mind to practice without a keyboard. This brings me back to base camp!

[@swiss3948]

Great video and help! Thanks man!

[@alkas288]

Great simple independence games you can exercise almost everywhere (where you're handsfree at least ;). Thanks a lot!

[@glenrose7925]

Right, you can always spot a drummer out in public. Always tapping out rhythms on their legs and such, dash board of the car.

[@suzannebrown945]

Just what I need........back to basics.......to get this hand independence happening....😊

I agree with the comments already left. It's difficult. But, I'm gonna stick with it and hope like hell, that I'll get, sooner than later. Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it. Thanks.

[@vishwasgupta3]

+Yessi The owl interesting points ,if anyone else is searching for play best piano online course try Jadonite Piano Player Buddy ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.

[@williamkidwell1504]

This basic idea can be doubled simply by changing the hands... meaning - once you learn how to "automate" the left hand to free the right one - simply flip the practice routine around, so you play the "automated" part in the right hand and solo with the left... It takes some work though because the way we number our fingers (1=thumb to 5=pinky) fans from the inside out, whereas the way the keyboard is numbered simply rises in a sequential straight line... its hard to describe, which is why it takes work, but you can sense it when you play.

[@williamkidwell1504]

perhaps the difficulty in flipping the hands is better stated by contemplating what finger *leads* the automated rhythm in one hand vs the other... if the pinky (5) leads with the low note in the bass followed by the octave on the thumb (1), then to automate this in the right hand you'll have to lead with the thumb (1) followed by a rise to the pinky (5) to play the octave... Because the finger numberings are so contrary, it may be better to just identify the lead note and hit it with the opposing finger from hand to hand... anyway... $.02

[@glenrose7925]

Really a terrific idea William!

[@kjgallen1]

Where are the lessons for beginning thanks Like your style!

[@mortezahoseini7573]

really helpful.thnaks alot

[@anedrajones8462]

Nice!

[@meaganboodoo315]

great video this is exactly what i was looking for :) thank you

[@GuvnaGoeby]

It's funny because tapping without the piano notes only confused my brain but doing this whilst playing the notes at the same time was easy lol. I've been playing for about ten years but I really want to be much better at piano xD And after actually watching this video I realized that my left and right hands are more independent than I thought lol. I can play more than 4 notes whilst my left hand keeps playing two xD I went one further and kept playing C and G over and over whilst going up and down the scale from C to C. I think I'll do that every day now lol.

[@MrX-ye9bt]

I need to get these fingers working. Because I really. Love classical music and I want to learn to play

[@kjmusic..]

great very helpful

[@gabrielmelodia]

good thankss for lesson

[@benjaminpearlman2625]

Excellent for beginners .but proper hands position in necessary.

[@samediaunlocked9649]

this man is a genius

[@glenrose7925]

Well, not really. just enjoying teaching

[@iMattDoStuff]

I'll have to practice this before I could hold a piano. I don't want the music to be a mess. For a week is enough I think.

[@DotyAudioswaps]

I'm doing the same thing

[@iMattDoStuff]

Go for it

[@soloohk]

The Exercise Really Comes Handy I Tap My Left Thigh To Beat Time AnyTime AnyWhere，I Will Keep On Practising Till The Result Comes out。

[@thaipham3472]

wow, it looks simple but seem difficult

[@frazerburns91]

Thanks man

[@valeriekuhn3746]

Hey Glen, you still with us? Love to see more video on youtube!

[@KrisNulph]

Good exercise to build coordination of Hands Also a good brain exercise.

[@glenrose7925]

Hah! Didn't recognize me without my diving gear, eh?

[@Lynkevmusic]

thank you :-)

[@johnbrothers8226]

Curious how does left and right hand work on violin or guitar?

[@glenrose7925]

There is a lot of independence action but "generally" not as much as on the piano.

[@UnsuspectingCommenterPassingBy]

John Brothers It's not really hard tbh, the level of independence needed is more simple and intuitive, while piano is like trying to play a solo with a two neck guitar, one with each hand at the same time.

[@scottcleland9163]

Finally!

[@fairelino116]

Nice...

[@Bitslappin]

Where do I get the rest of this lesson

[@glenrose7925]

I hope you found it at: www.glenrosejazz.com/

[@glenrose7925]

I hope you found it at: www.glenrosejazz.com/

[@johnbrothers8226]

Would playing bongos help?

[@glenrose7925]

yes, excellent idea!

[@johndoe46446]

That's something I used to do when starting out.

[@chansherly212]

mostly simple for me, but i run into a wall when trying to get left hand dotted rhyhtms steady against an even right hand rhythm !

[@youstinanagi740]

i have this really important question . does it count as independence when i create a pattern in my mind for the finger coordination ?? like ( one left finger times with three right fingers , and so on ) . it makes it possible for me .

[@glenrose7925]

Definitely. I do the same thing all the time while moving about during the day. Rhythms in your mind. It's a little like meditation actually.....I think so anyway.
